Re: ultracapacitors in AC drives
*** The point I wanted to make was this: Given a UC rated to hold,
say `x' Ah of charge for `t' minutes, if it loses `x/2' Ah within a much
shorter time period than `t', isn't the rating wrong? I was not referring
to the rate of discharge. I thought the rating would be for how long it
could hold a substantial proportion (say, >90%) of the original charge.***
